Who are the Woolnoth Associates? The Woolnoth Associates is a selective women's group affiliated with The Woolnoth Society Charitable Trust. Every year, members hold a Film Night in March to raise money for projects which provide tangible support to needy families and children in and around the City of London. This major fundraising event is very festive and includes a drinks party, raffle and silent auction followed by a private film preview. Additionally, Associates are invited to attend special social and cultural events which also raise money for the chosen project. Associates can attend Woolnoth Society events as well. For those desiring a more "hands-on" volunteer experience, members have the opportunity to help sort clothes for the Whitechapel Mission, a shelter for homeless men in Whitechapel.
The Officers of the Woolnoth Associates are:
Marguerite Finnigan, Ph.D.
